Alexander Isak Nets First Goal for Liverpool in League Cup Victory

Swedish international Alexander Isak marked a significant milestone in his football career by scoring his first goal for Liverpool during a League Cup match against Southampton. This moment occurred on September 23, 2025, when Isak found the net in the 43rd minute, giving Liverpool a 1-0 lead at Anfield. The match eventually concluded with a 2-1 victory for Liverpool, although Isak only played the first half of the game.

The goal was facilitated by a misplayed pass from Southampton's goalkeeper, Alex McCarthy, which was intercepted by Federico Chiesa, allowing Isak to calmly tap the ball into the empty net. This achievement is particularly noteworthy considering Isak's high-profile transfer to Liverpool, where he became the most expensive player in Premier League history with a fee of 1.65 billion kronor. His transfer followed an eventful summer filled with training disputes at his previous club, Newcastle United.

Before the League Cup encounter, Isak had made his debut in the Champions League against Atletico Madrid but did not score. Following the match against Southampton, this goal will likely bolster his confidence and solidify his position among Liverpool fans and his teammates, highlighting a pivotal moment in his early tenure with the club.
